Use all your senses to appreciate this local treasure. All ages are welcome, but participants should be prepared for a 4 to 6 mile hike on rough, rocky, uneven ground. The group will travel at a moderate pace with occasional stops. The route includes rugged, steep, and slippery hills that are full of sticky seeds and thorny plants. Maintain a safe distance from the free-range cattle and wildlife, and be aware that this is tick, mountain lion, and potentially rattlesnake country.

Wear boots or sturdy closed-toe shoes that grip well. Long, sturdy pants are recommended, along with layered clothes, and protection from sun, wind and fog. You may also want to bring hiking sticks, bug repellent, binoculars, and a camera. Meet Jim in the Lynch Canyon parking lot. RSVPs are appreciated to Jim Hanser at 707-372-6090 or by email.
